Material Notes:
Capron 8260 is a 40% mineral reinforced polyamide 6 injection molding compound. It possesses high stiffness, dimensional stability and heat resistance combined with excellent processability including low warp and resistance to sink-mark formation. It is also available in heat stabilized (Capron 8260 HS) versions. It can be painted or chrome plated and is also available in pigmented versions.Capron 8260 is generally recommended for applications such as marine hardware, brackets, fittings, bobbins, office furniture, appliance components and power tool housings. ASTM Callout PA210 M40 A92120 KB080 AA002.Data provided by Allied Signal.Processing: Max. water content 0.12%. Product is supplied in sealed containers and drying is not required. If drying becomes necessary, a dehumidifying or desiccant dryer operating at 85°C (185 °F). Is recommended. Drying time is dependent on moisture level.Melt Temperature: 270-295 degC (518-563 degF). Mold Temperature: 80-95 degC (176-203 degF). Injection and Packing Pressure: 35-125 bar (500-1500psi) This product can be processed over a wide range of mold temperatures; however, for applications where aesthetics critical, a mold surface temperature of 80-95 degC (176-203 degF) is required. Injection pressure controls the filling of the part and should be applied for 90% of ram travel. Packing pressure affects the final part and can be used effectively in controlling sink marks and shrinkage. It should be applied and maintained until the gate area is completely frozen off. Back pressure can be utilized to provide uniform melt consistency and reduce trapped air and gas. A maximum of 3.5 bar (50 psi) is recommended to minimize glass fiber breakage. Fast fill rates are recommended to insure uniform melt delivery to the cavity and prevent premature freezing. Surface appearance is directly affected by injection rate. Capron® is no longer a part of the BASF standard line. The BASF nylon products have been consolidated in the Ultramid ® line.
